Records are meant to be broken. That was clear on a historic night for high school sports Tuesday in Kewanee.

The first record fell in Good’s Gym as Kewanee senior Mark Breedlove earned the 122nd victory of his high school wrestling career — a first-period pin of Erie-Prophetstown’s Darius Owens in their 138-pound match.

“It meant a lot because my brother had it before and he taught me a lot of what I know,” said Breedlove of setting the new mark. “He’s one of the biggest people I look up to in wrestling — him and my dad — so breaking that record felt really good.”

Mark said he’s joked with Adam about breaking the record.

“Records are meant to be beaten and I think he’s glad that it was by me instead of someone else,” said Breedlove.

“Not a lot of kids get to be like him and come in their freshman year and make a positive impact on the varsity,” said KHS wrestling coach Charley Eads.

And another milestone is within sight as Breedlove’s KHS career winds down.

“He has a chance to be only the second guy with 40 wins in a season,” said Eads.

Heavyweight Matt Jenkin finished with a 40-3 record in the 1990-91 season.

Just hours later, Wethersfield junior guard Trevor Lay was busy putting his name in the school’s record book.

Kohler dropped 47 points in an overtime battle with Putnam County in Wethersfield’s Thanksgiving tournament in 2008.

Lay scored early and often for the Geese, tallying 14 points in the first quarter and 16 more in the second to lead the Geese to a 54-30 bulge at the break.

Lay surpassed the record in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter as the Geese polished off a 100-68 rout of the Spartans.

"First, I have to thank all of my teammates for this. I couldn't have done it without them,'' said Lay in a postgame interview with Argus-Dispatch reporter Terry Duckett. "Personally, I wasn't thinking about (the record) until the fourth quarter; I don't know if the guys thought about it or not. I just wanted to do what I could for the team, and it just so happened I got the record.”

“It was one of the best offensive performances I’ve seen in my career,” said Wethersfield coach Jeff Parsons.

Page 2 of 2 - In addition to 49 points, Lay had 12 assists and seven steals for the 17-3 Geese. He finished the night 18 of 24 from the floor, including three 3-pointers, and 10 of 14 from the free-throw line.

“Those are just silly numbers,” said Parsons.

The WHS coach said congratulatory tweets and texts came in a steady stream for Lay after the game, including one from Kohler.

“He was very humbled by it,” said Parsons. “All he wants to do is win. That’s all Trevor cares about.”

Wethersfield’s first 100-point game since 1979

Lay’s 49 points led Wethersfield to its first 100-point game in more than 30 years.

The triple digits output sent the Star Courier’s Rocky Stuffelbeam to the Wethersfield hoops archives. His research determined the Geese last reached the century mark in January of 1979 with a 103-65 win over Farmington.

Point guard Daryl Bond led the Geese with 27 points, followed by Mike Smith with 22, Ronnie Reed with 17 and Mike Pillen with 12.
